Following up from the darker, more experimental ‘Level Five Stage One’ album released last year, the eclectic composer and producer, Laszlo returns to a more organic sound, exploring some new compositional techniques with his latest EP, ‘Turning Tide’.
This four-track offering represents a time of progression and moving forward for the London-based artist. The introductory title track eases us in with abstract, minimal textures, and the subsequent brooding tones of ‘Loops’ and ‘Limbo Lullaby’ explore feelings of uncertainty before progressing into the assured grooves and soaring melodies of the concluding finale, ‘Cartoon Hero’, a colourful and nostalgic epic.
Whist ‘Turning Tide’ echoes the distinctive organic style of his 2011 album, ‘Radial Nerve’, the use of synthesisers and electric guitars gives the EP its own signature sound.
As a transition between the brooding minimalism of ‘Level Five Stage One’ and the lighter hearted roots of ‘Radial Nerve’, ‘Turning Tide’ perhaps gives us a taste of what’s to come!
